Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Food was cold but ambiance was great. The service was pretty slow but I think it had to do with the kitchen being slow.

Had the BBQ Brisket and Bacon Burger. Absolutely the best burger around!!!! They have an extensive menu that should meet everyone's tastes, from salads to burgers, to flatbreads, to soups. Pretty good beer and wine menu also.

Went there to celebrate my wife 60th birthday. The initial server took our drink order and we ordered appetizers. Shortly, after that, the servers changed where we waited for our appetizers. We watch people come in, order their meals,, and was served their dinner yet we were still waiting. We asked her server about our status and evidently our order was given to another table. We’ve been there several times and the lesson learned is to use the bar area not to be served. the second server was very good and should not be held accountable as he did try his best.
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - EscondidoResponded on June 5, 2025
We are so sorry to read about your recent experience. Our service wasn't up to par, and we apologize for having kept you waiting. Please don't hesitate to reach out to one of our managers the next time this happens. Our team will do everything we can to make it right.

Food was 50/50 stake was dry and cold. Check was dry. We’ve had better. We got excellent service though which made up for poor food. Eric was attentive and a super host.

Oh all, it was a nice experience, but I feel that the food quality has gone down at least with the pizzas. Did not enjoy the white pizza, all bread very little flavor, but the appetizers were really good, the blue cheese wedge salad was great, but how can you mess that up unless you’re using a terrible bottle dressing.
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - EscondidoResponded on May 14, 2025
Jonnie, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the appetizers and salad. We take your comments about the pizza seriously and will share them with our kitchen team. Your input helps us improve, and we hope to serve you a better pizza next time!

I have been to BJ's several times. And I ordered salmon. However the salmon fillet was extremely small, and did not resemble the picture in the menu at all. And there was no dressing on the ahi salad and we actually had to request it. I understand BJ's can get busy, but shorting customers is not the right thing to do.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Danny. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the inconsistencies with your order. We’re committed to improving and will ensure our team addresses these issues to enhance your next visit. Your satisfaction is important to us!

Friendly attentive staff. The manager was busy assisting his servers, delivering food and drink. The food was well seasoned and the meat was tender. Our server made sure everything was good and to our liking.

Service was very slow, no drink refills, when food arrived, nobody’s food was even warm, it was just such a long wait we didn’t want to send it back and even after we asked to get the check we still were left waiting 20 minutes before he brought the check over, just not a great experience coming from a place I genuinely enjoy
